Flaunt Magazine is pleased to announce the release of The Context Issue: Sing Us a Song (Issue 128).

Within, we stab a tuning fork in the eardrum of the music world, with content ranging from DJs to drone rock to sexy summer pop, as well as acoustic architecture and the elusive nature of sound.

One special contribution we are particularly stoked about—because we love a little experiment now and again—comes from multimedia artist David Lynch.
In time for the July 16 release of his new album, The Big Dream, Lynch wrote us an exclusive song recipe with experimental ingredients in true Lynchian form. The feature lives beyond the printed page in a film created for Flaunt by Lynch, in which he encourages fans to interpret the ingredients—the drone of a B36 bomber, a patch of soft earth, a brass bell, et al.—and create their own listening experiences for a chance to win a special prize, to be announced on Flaunt.com.
Lynch’s concoction, Recipe for a Song: The Vastness of the Small Corral, debuts exclusively at Flaunt.com on July 10, complete with the film, recipe, and contest entry. For the latest tweets on the song contest, follow Flaunt on Twitter and use the hashtags #thebigdream and #flauntdavidlynch.
Other items to turn your dial to are six juicy covers—BeyoncĂ©, Kendrick Lamar, Nick Cave, Nicolas Jaar, Kid Cudi, and Urs Fischer—and contributions from several noteworthy influencers, including Jennifer Herrema, Albert Hammond, Jr., Bill Callahan, and music mag Resident Advisor.

 The Context Issue will hit newsstands July 11, with digital content rolling out in coming weeks on a new-and-improved Flaunt.com.
